The link between a high fat diet and breast cancer incidence has been shown in many studies and here is the latest one. This latest research was presented to “an international scientific symposium for interaction and exchange among basic scientists and clinicians in breast cancer” at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, Henry B. Gonzalez […]

It makes plain sense really doesn’t it? We are just not built for sitting at all. The best feeling in the world is when you have been on your feet for so long you just cannot wait to sit down! There are studies now showing clearly that sitting all day leads to obesity, diabetes, heart […]

Hungry? I had moments of hunger for sure but they were few and far between. I generally was not hungry at all in the morning, was filled up completely with a glass of water, had energy to burn and my emotions (even after the HUGE 2015 year we have had), were calm and steady the […]

What exactly did I do on the 50-day fast? I woke around 4.30am naturally, I then did a tiny #2, then had a warm glass of water with a splash of apple cider vinegar and sauerkraut juice (for the probiotic and stimulatory benefits). I then walked for around 11km. On returning, when thirsty, I had […]

Well, that was an experience! Lots to share about what 50 days without eating is like…but before I download, let’s get a few things straight so nobody runs off and fasts without learning about it first! I am not recommending anyone else juice fast for 50 days – I am literally a fasting veteran […]

Sick, sick, sick I know what it is like to be sick, really sick. The kind of sick where you think you are going to die and just getting through the hour, or the day, is all you can focus on. When you get that sick it takes over your life. Your experience is […]

The only difference between a dead person and a living person is movement. Moving is what you should focus on: moving, rather than exercise. Movement can be simply standing more than you sit, or squatting, stretching, running, walking, swimming, sprinting, lifting, climbing or lying down, relaxing. The real enemy is sitting. Sitting is what we […]

Fasting The very word makes people go strange and suggest that you’ve joined a weird cult dedicated to the worship of thin celebrities. They say that ‘if you don’t eat, you die’. The actual truth is, ‘if you don’t eat too much, then you live longer’. I have fasted hundreds of times over the last […]

“Poor diet choices, physical inactivity, excess alcohol consumption and unhealthy body weight could account for more than 20% of cancer cases, and could, therefore, be prevented with lifestyle modifications. Following these recommendations will lead to healthier lives overall and, in turn, reduce the risk for many major diseases. When tobacco exposure is considered, these […]

Over the last 10 years I have spoken on health to thousands of people around the world, from Canada, to the UK, Singapore, Fiji, right across Australia and NZ. I am often asked, ‘What about genetics? Surely they are the main driver of my health and longevity?’ I always answer, ‘Well, all the research, […]
